I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I can't claim to have had any high hopes or expectations for this movie, but the synopsis seemed somewhat interesting, so I gave it a chance. And doing that was a win on my part, because this movie was entertaining and so well-told by director Frank A. Cappello.The story is about Bob Maconel who is planning a shooting at his dead end job, being tired of being a nobody, a joke, an outcast and a faceless being in the crowd. As he is mustering up the courage to initiate his plan, someone beats him to it, and the day takes on a very different turn for Bob.This is without a doubt the best performance from Christian Slater that I have ever seen. He nailed this role and character right on the head, and he really carried the movie quite well. Alongside him was Elisha Cuthbert whom also put on a great performance.There isn't a dull moment throughout this movie and I was more than entertained throughout the course of "He Was a Quiet Man". And this movie is well-worth sitting down to watch. There is a great continuous flow to the story and you really get sucked into the storyline right from the very beginning, because of the acting performances and the great directorial work.

The movie opens with and ends with the same scene, of police arriving at and investigating the contents of a residence. That residence belongs to the protagonist, and neighbors are recorded by news media saying "he was a quiet man", thus the origin of the movie's title.At first glance it seems to be a dark movie about an employee saving the day, as it were, when he shoots and kills a deranged man who has shot up the office space already. But that is only a ruse, after SPOILERS below I discuss what really happened. It reminded me of the story in "Boxing Helena". In a quite different role for him Christian Slater is the meek, perhaps deranged cubicle employee Bob Maconel with a menial job, checking lists and reporting to his disrespectful younger boss. Bob clearly despises the office environment and brings a revolver to work, along with six bullets. We hear him think of the five he will "pop", perhaps saving the sixth for himself. When he gets home he talks to his goldfish about it, and we hear the goldfish talking to him.One fateful day while Bob is loading his revolver yet again, one of the bullets drops and rolls under the partition and into the carpeted office path. While he is bending down to try to retrieve it without being noticed black shoes walk up, stand on the bullet, and begins firing, killing several and badly wounding the pretty lady that Bob admired from afar. Bob stands to talk to the gunman, who then threatens him, and Bob fires the 5 shots through the partition killing the gunman. He becomes a hero at the office, is promoted to "VP of Creative Thinking", and given a nice office on the top floor. He is finally appreciated.The pretty lady who was badly wounded, in fact paralyzed, was Elisha Cuthbert as Venessa Parks . Even though at the hospital she is first angry with him for not letting her be killed, eventually they develop a relationship. Now I want to say, all is not as it seems to be and as the movie concludes it all becomes clear. It is a good movie, if quite different, and takes some patience but it pays off in the end. Christian Slater is superb in a role quite different from his usual roles.SPOILERS: When Bob returns later to his office it seems that he isn't recognized on the "top floor." Also back at his cubicle when he is in the hallway he steps on the bullet that had slipped away from him. It could not have been there all that time, everything that happened, the other man shooting, the promotion, the relationship had been imagined by him. Little time had actually passed, Venessa was not crippled, there had been no shooting. Realizing all this and his twisted state of mind he put the gun to his own head and ended his life.

I'm only writing this review to warn those who think a movie with William H. Macy and Christian Slater can't be all bad. It is.The only reason I'm not giving this garbage 1 star is because I've fallen asleep around an hour into it. So while the film experience itself was a torture, it did lead to a peaceful state of my mind in the end. It must have been a defensive reaction of my brain, as I wasn't even tired. The most interesting part of that evening was the plot summary, and ever since I had read it and decided to watch this particular movie, things were going steadily and continuously downhill. And I don't mean just boring; think incoherent, intelligence-insulting, frustrating, annoying to the point you're getting aggressive. Seriously, the DVD of this movie would be a riot if it included a video game allowing you to smash the characters across the face with a baseball bat or packing Elisha Cuthbert's constantly whining mouth with hot lead. All this to the incredibly lame movie soundtrack that stops suddenly once you finish off the main boss - the composer - in a long, exhausting beatdown. Now that's entertainment.Unfortunately when I'm writing this, the interaction with this movie is limited to turning the volume down or removing the DVD out of the drive. While the former helps through the soundtrack and Elisha's bitching, the movie still inflicts torment on so many levels you'll be wishing you had slept through it too...

He was a quiet man features Bob Maconel (Christian Slater) who is a displeased man working in an office with orthodox 9-5 routine. He is a very lonely individual who gets bullied by his superiors and ignored by his co-workers; he is nerdy looking, and seems to have no charisma which makes him an instant easy target. This leaves him with no options to allow orders from people and let them treat him like a servant. This has brought him to a breaking point where he feels his life is no longer worth living and attempts a killing spree. However, a fellow co-worker named Coleman beats Maconel to the 'job' whilst going through a similar experience of his own. This occurrence leaves Maconel rising from a zero to a hero. Maconel manages to prevent Vanessa (Elisha Cuthbert) from dying and shooting killer Coleman! Vanessa is left almost completely paralysed and can no longer maintain her job. The job is appointed to Maconel by Gene Shelby (William H. Macy). Maconel receives Vanessa's company car and an office with a view – something he's always wanted. People treat him differently after the incident and take interest in his life, as he gets invited to parties and the opportunity to share his ideas with the company.Initially, Vanessa was angry with Maconel for saving her life – as she felt she would be better off dead than being disabled. Maconel has fantasised being with Vanessa for years and still likes her the same way despite her condition. This brings Maconel and Vanessa together as they form a relationship. All of this seems like a perfect life but it leaves Maconel completely overwhelmed and he can't handle the situation he's in. Maconel starts to question himself and he finds himself in a situations that is changing for the worst. The music used in this film works very appropriately and is very well timed. I like it when I'm not distracted by a popular song in a film and "He was a Quiet Man" doesn't suffer from uniqueness. There is a few times where Maconel narrates, and I have to admit Christian Slater's narration is pretty good. He gives a credible performance as he does with any film role that he portrays.My only one complaint was the running time at 95 minutes. I finished the film quite simply wanting more and the plot twist towards the end of the film seemed a little unoriginal and predicable. The film was written and directed by Frank A. Cappello. I have always respected authors who direct their own films. I suppose he was pensiveness of how he wanted the film to look and didn't want any other director to change that from him. This film had a very limited budget, approximately in the region of $600,000. There was no studio behind it, making it a strictly independent production. It had theatre showings in a few cities for one week each and the main release was on DVD in USA on January 15, 2008.So basically, the film is well worth watching but it suffers towards the end – I felt it was capable of a lot more as there isn't a moment of screen wasted time. It is an enjoyable film to watch - but you need to pay attention to understand the plot twists.
